Day 4 ~ Boating to North Captiva Island

We rented a boat for the day and made our way to North Captiva Island.. it was a gorgeous day!

Sanibel Island Causeway Bridge

Catching a few Zzzz's on the boat

Captain Roger

Dolphins!!

Redfish Pass (between Captiva Island and North Captiva Island)

Coming up to North Captiva.. you can only get here by boat, there are no bridges leading to this island.. houses were just so-so  .., ha ha

An old fishing shack.. pretty cool

We stopped for lunch at Barnacle Phils because 7+ years ago, we did the same and the grouper was AMAZING.. this time.. it was good but not $18/basket good.. oh well.. still had a great time.

Chips and Salsa for Elise

A little Hula Hoop time

Cayo Costa Island

At Barnacle Phils you can decorate a dollar and put it on the bulletin board.

Heading into the Gulf of Mexico.. woo hoo!! (Captiva Pass)

Looking for Dolphins.. sorry it's a little shaky!

Day 3 ~ Captiva Island... my favorite beach!

The tip of South Captiva Island.. we are heading to North Captiva by boat in a few days!

I had to take a photo of this hat because I am amazed at how many people from Indiana are down here... they are everywhere and they love to point it out to each other!

 

We stopped at the Lazy Flamingo on our way home for a late lunch and played the ring toss.. (or as the girls still call it.. the "pink flamingo")

Elise finally hooked the ring and the entire place clapped for her.. her face turned bright red... it was so cute.. (she blushes like her mommy).

AND.... they are wiped out!

Day 2... off to Sanibel Island!!

We spent a big part of the day on Sanibel Island.. it is beautiful and has great shells!



Grandpa chasing Elise with water... it was so funny.. she was screaming and he was running... with his new hips!!
